TechED 2006: Day 4

// June 16th, 2006 // .Net, General, TechEd 2006

Thursday at TechEd 2006 was a looooong day. The sessions started early and there was the big attendee party directly after the sessions ended.

The first session in the morning was yet another great performance from Scott Hanselman called “Deploying and Managing Your Own Enterprise Framework”. As always, Scott keeps coming back to “the real world” (air quotes), which really adds an extra weight to everything he says. He’s not just *talking* about things that he never built. He (and Corillian) has actually implemented stuff and run it in production.

We also made time to see Sweden *barely* win over Paraguay. We actually screamed out loud when Ljungberg (or “lungberg” as they say over here) finally got the ball in the net (and not just hitting the net on the wrong side of the goal). It was nice to let go of over 170 minutes of frustration.

Then it was time for the big party! We got to see Fenway Park in all it’s glory. We concluded that it would have been nice to have some kind of emotional attachment to baseball and/or Fenway Park before we got there, but all in all it was a nice evening with alot of free food.
